When it comes to horse racing, Horses Wild has got you covered.
Barry Irwin of co-owner Team Valor said he expects the pace of the Preakness Stakes on May 16 at Pimlico Race Course to be too much for Hull, who is unbeaten but has had only 3 starts. Hull didn’t start as a 2-year-old because of shin problems.
Irwin told the Lexington Herald-Leader the Preakness would have been Hull’s first at such a distance and that he wasn’t comfortable with the speed that would be in the second leg of the Triple Crown. The Woody Stephens is 7 furlongs, while the Preakness is 1 3/16 miles.
